EAST LONGMEADOW — Department of Public Works and utility crews were working Monday to fix a series of water main breaks that left some town residents without drinking water this morning.

An East Longmeadow police spokesman confirmed that crews were still addressing the situation at about 9:15 a.m. He said most residents have water this morning and that only specific sections of town were affected by the breaks, which occurred during the overnight period.

DPW Superintendent David J. Gromaski was in a meeting this morning and unavailable, according to a department secretary. Sean Kelley, a senior project manager and DPW spokesman, could not immediately be reached for comment.

Workers were seen digging up a section of roadway at North Main and Dearborn streets during the predawn hours Monday. Other affected areas included Chestnut Street and Burt, Cooley, Gates and Savoy avenues. The incident on Dearborn Street also reportedly involved a gas line.

A list of closed, or partially closed, streets was not immediately available.
